i have manually configured the router.
i set the following configuration for wireless connection.

1-- set the ESSID(set it "default")
2-- operation mode ( set as "station- infrastructure")
3-- enable the "wireless access"
4-- set the MAC address that has the right to access the router

Is I have to make a new connection for wireless router in the "network and dialup connection" , one connection is already there for wireless but when I double click it for making connection ,"network cable unplugged " error appear.

Turn off the MAC filtering, at least until you get connected. Run the router "wide-open" to get the basic connection debugged.
